Scientists estimate that more than 95% of Earth’s oceans have never been seen, meaning we’ve seen less of our planet’s ocean than the far side of the Moon or the surface of Mars. The high cost of powering an underwater camera for a long period of time, attaching it to a research vessel or sending …

By David L. Chandler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology September 24, 2022 Two samples of passive cooling devices were tested on the roof of MIT Building 1: on the left, a sample of the new system, combining evaporative cooling, radiative cooling and insulation. On the right, a device using only evaporative cooling, for comparison tests. Credit: …

Astronomers risk misinterpreting planetary signals in data from the James Webb Space Telescope if models for interpreting the data don’t improve, an MIT study finds. In this concept image, the James Webb Telescope captures light around a newly discovered planet (left). However, when scientists analyze this data, the limitations of opacity models could produce planetary …
